Alright, let's flash back for this whole week.
Rewind.
Camera.
Action!

Beginning of the beautiful week :-)
Monday's assembly was much better compared to previous times. Everyone got settled down quickly and assembly started on time. The most important lesson came soon after. LIVE. We had a talk regarding our streaming. It's about the subject combination and the JC & Poly stuffs. Gosh, VJC's score is extremely high. Science: 5 and below. Arts: 6 and below. I must really slog my guts out before I can get there man. My dream JC.
-smiles (I have no idea why I want to go VJ too)

D&T was just complete stress and nothing else. I've got to complete my lamp by the end of this week due to my departure for OBS.

2 more days to my birthday :-)
Lessons were fine. For MT, I announced the verdict today. I don't think I have done a good job as a judge. Forget it =/ IT was so-so. And Q taught us the basics of Flash- the 3 different motions. It was cool. Thankfully, he did not say anything about me giving him that constipated look. Do I really? I don't know if it's true la.

Rushed for daji after school. Not at all fine. Got reprimanded by Lao Shi. I guess we must learn the names of the percussion instruments by heart. Really by heart. Argh. Then, we will not get scolded unneccessarily. Fortunately, towards the end of the lesson, we played Sai Ma and his mood seemed to change towards the bright side :D

1 more day to my birthday :-)
School was fantastic! Except for the period after Recess. It still irks me when I think about it. Ms Tan was real funny during Geog. She sure does expect quite good results from us. For Chapel, I got lost as I didn't know which classroom to go to. I shouldn't have ticked anything on the feedback form. Bio was nice. Ms Deepa wore a new dress! I tell you, she has tonnes and tonnes of beautiful + fashionable clothes. And she told us that she has 126 pairs of earrings! I love her shoes too! Esp. the dark green coloured one and the glittery light blue one. So nice! Anw, we cont' with the transportaion in plants and animals.

Soon, it was Reflection! I love reflection. Richa discussed about the class t-shirt. I voted for purple colour shirt as I do not own any purple shirt and purple is quite sweet too ;D

Went for extra for D&T. Finally finished my lamp except that I need to connect the wires =))

Happy Birthday to Me!
I wasn't really feeling anything special on that day. Maybe a little excited for dinner with my family. It was just a normal day. I received quite a number of presents. Thank you everyone for your wonderful presents. Special thanks to Elizabeth, Amanda & Wan Leng. I love the Quilksilver shirt! Thank you for all who wished me a happy birthday and thanks for remembering my birthday :-)

Anw, Literature wasn't that bad. Except that I didn't do my presentation which I was quite pissed off by. Forget it, I can do it when I'm back. Oh yes. She was so silly. I mean, I seriously don't think she knows how to use a laptop. She thought that it must be bend only 90 degrees and poor Grace got a scolding from her because she thought her laptop had spoilt due to the window that pop up before you can actually access into your account. The window when one must press the ctrl, alt and delete one. I tell you, she don't know what she's doing and she thought it hang or spoil. Then she phoned the IT personnel. Hah! Damn embarassing la. All of us just sat there and laugh. My goodness!

Had CCA. Not good. I failed the test :-(
Homed.
Went for dinner @ Macs with my family! Ate to my fill. And we went home to cut my birthday cake. So sweet my cake! It's chocolate cake! I expected it to be some fruit cakes or something. But it's CHOCOLATE! You know, chocolate! Yum yum.
-grinz

Last day of the Week
I don't know what came over Yang Lao Shi this morning. She became so strict with us. But it's good too =)) We had a zuo wen test. Hopefully I can do well. Amanda and I changed to our blazers during Recess and I was feeling so hot. Extremely. I was perspiring non-stop. But I managed to cool down eventually. Christina said that I looked like a businesswoman in the blazer and others said that I looked like an air-stewardess. HAHA :DD All of us didn't do much. We just went to the park. Jessica and Paddy had their 2.4km run. Jessica was fast-12 mins! Paddy wasn't that bad either. She's faster than me. LALA =))

Art time. Con't with our designs and logo. Coming out good. Next was lunch! Amanda and I had our lunch. Thanks for the fruit punch ;D We missed Bio and Math as we left for the TT National Finals. B div and C div got 4th placing! I know all of you have been through a lot to get into the 4th position. To God Be The Glory! And I finally know what JC is the grey uniform. National JC. I was having a hard time figuring it out tgt with Amanda. Heh =)

After that, we went back to school. Had a short Debrief.
Homed.

I wonder how's the band concert.

Reported to school at 8am for daji. Yiying and I agreed on going together and it turned out that we were super early, together with a pri school girl. Anw, soon Ms Wong came and she opened the gate for us. The conversation between us (Yiying, Zenia and Me) was so funny la.

Ms Wong: Why you all so early?
We: Just smile
Zenia: Oh, because Lao Shi say punctual is late
Ms Wong: Aiyah he, he forever come late one la.
All: Laughed

Then, we moved all the percussion instruments out of the room down and practiced for an hour or so. I didn't know that Zenia have so many crush la. Whatsmore, same gender one. But she's normal too. Had fun together with them. Lao Shi praised me again! Whee~ I have done well for the rhythm for Sai Ma. Yes man! Goodie =DD We learnt some new daji for some of the songs and I love the song " Han Jiang Yu"! I simply adore it <3

Lao Shi was in a super uber good mood today. Kept on smiling. Hehh =DD And he gave us 10 mins break. Rare of him to do so. Anw, had keropok but Zenia and I gave it a miss. I didn't want to eat. Yup. It was kinda slack for us too. But we manage to pull through and yes, we did it =DD I feel so proud of myself :-)

After daji ended, Grace and I headed down to HLM for lunch. And I went for tuition. Funny lesson today. I mean, with all the noise pollution coming from the programme that was going on, just because of the MP.

4 more days to my birthday =DD
9 more days to OBS =DD

Many things happened. Happy and sad, bitter and sweet.
Cheer up, Paddy!
Glad you are feeling better, Christina =D
Get well soon, Claris. Don't move too much!
__________________________________________
Received Math & Geo test results. Not up to my personal expectations. I expected to get an 18 for math but I got 16. And for Geo, it's sad. Open book and what did I get, 17. All these are give away tests, Anna. Give away tests. Why can't you get full marks? I just feel so stressed up with people competing with me over results. Even just 1 mark. I know some are feeling happy that they've beat me irregardless of what tests. Don't be too happy. Just wait and see.

2.4 run was ok. It almost killed me. Almost. Ran 14:40. Not bad la. I think for this year I can only clinch a Silver. Sickening IPU, pull me down. I got an E for that la. My arms are really weak. This is my worst year for Napfa. Sigh.

And Thurs EARTH DAY, no fan until 1050. It was good, for me. I can tolerate it cause normally at home, I don't switch on the fan and air-con. I told Partner that if the school does this every single day, they can save a lot of money on the bill and use it for our fund raising. And we will not be suffering so much, asking people to donate.

For Bio, it was quite dead la. Ms Deepa went through the corrections for the worksheets and practical. She lost my Diffusion and Osmosis worksheet! ARGH! I got to re-do it again. Nvm la. Anw, I was quite surprised over my practical marks. Wheee~

For daji on Thurs, it was quite good. Mr Yeo said that the speed that I'm playing for Sai Ma is good. So there isn't much of a problem for that song. We got the score for 2 new songs. Going to learn them this Sunday. Wheee~

Just yesterday, we had a court session during Chinese lesson. I was the Judge. It was so funny la. The lawyers were some kind of clowns. They weren't really serious but I know Shi Min was trying her very best to defend her client. I'm going to say the verdict on Monday =D

Mrs Ow didn't come for Art. One Zero did the 90th anniversary thing. We are going to make a file and the design will be extremely fantastic! I just can't wait to get my hands on the file!

And Z don't be so stressed up. I want to thank you for sharing with me. I was surprsied when you wanted to tell me that. Don't worry. Don't think too much. If V hasn't done anything wrong, she will not be in trouble. It is also normal that J will get angry as V is like her best friend. Chill-
_____________________________________

Seriously, I hope that the person who is harrassing E will just stop his stupid and childish nonsence. It just doesn't make sense at all. I really really hope that he is just faking. If it is true, this person is really sick. I really don't know what to do now. I feel scared, confused and worried.

Daji was fun, only in the beginning when Lao Shi had not come. We practiced lots of times and we had a long chat. Knew a lot of new things about them. And we chatted on our monthly allowance, results and anything that a girl can talk about when she starts blabbering to her friends :-)

But, I felt guilty for taking breaks and chatting with Grace, Yiying and Zenia when we actually combine with the guzheng. I feel that as I feel that we have not really tried our very best- as in keep on practicing. And the standard today was not up to Lao Shi's expectations. Guilty-conscious. Will do better the next time.

Oh yes! I was so damn lucky this morning. First time ever, I am so lucky! It's like this. Due to the many Fridays that we miss cos' of public holidays and other events, today we were supposed to bring Friday's books. And my class had PE. And it so happens that I forgot to bring my PE shirt (fortunately I wore the PE short). And I went OMG OMG OMG. And I went around asking if anyone can lend me theirs. And nobody has. I was feeling so dead that moment la. But, when Christabel read the announcements for the day, I was so surprised and happy. Cos' the last announcement said," Mrs Cindy Teo is on MC today. Classes under her, please remain in your classes." My immediate reaction was," Wow, I'm saved!" So lucky right =DD Normally I'm not this lucky one la.

Partner and me are so high today. Kept laughing but I manage to control la. She became a little crazy over Click Five. She even cut out the picture from The Straits Times la. And she sang the wrong tune for Catch Your Wave. She sang the Hey Juliet tune. I was like, "Hey hey hey, your tune is off. It's the Hey Juliet tune." And she laughed. The songs are swimming around in my brainjuices now. [Every princess has her knight :-) ]

And with clique too. LOVES. I am just feeling oh-so-happy and high today. Even partner agreed with me cos' normally I'll be like serious and all. Yeah. Had art lesson. And art lesson was so cool. We drew the fruit that we brought and I drew an apple. Thanks Partner for sharing your beloved apple with me :-) Anw, after art was lunch. Everyone chiong for the canteen. Not me of course, I stayed back to complete some History stuffs then I went. After I came back from lunch, I became more high. I actually threw an apple and asked Richa to catch it? And the apple hit onto the corner of a chair and landed on her hands. HAHAHS =D Unbelivable. It's so rare that I will be so high, especially during school hours.

And just yesterday, I had EL & MA tests. For Math, I got block at the last question la. Stuck halfway. And I tried other methods but I still couldn't get the final answer. And after the test, it's like careless mistake. AGAIN! Sigh. I wonder when I can stop making careless mistakes. Nevermind, it's over. Shall keep that in mind and do my best in upcoming tests =D

And not to forget. My angel finally revealed herself to me after so many times of confrontation I had with her. FINALLY =D And I guessed correctly. Paddypaddypaddypaddypaddy. Hehh =DD Thanks for that sweet poem you wrote and I like it, very much =D

Headed for school this morning for daji. I reached school at 930 and there were already all of them practising their guzheng together with other people from Xinmin and some of Lao Shi's students. I felt so extra. It was so embarrassing when I first walked into the guzheng room la. Firstly, I was the only one wearing school T-shirt and pinafore, the others were wearing their home clothes. Secondly, I was the one and only one person who came among the other 3. Argh.

Forget about that. Then I practiced all alone at the staircase. I couldn't really practice very well as I must make sure that I was not disturbing the Zheng 2 and 3 practices since I was quite near them. Anw, Jue Ying and Edinna came over to give me some tips and guided me along. Thank you!

After for an hour or so, Lao Shi asked me to go into the room. And I just sat at one corner and started my silent practice. The rest of them played the performance songs. Lao Shi really has high expectations. But I can see that all of them are enjoying themselves. I love the song Han Jiang Hu! Anw, it was fun playing Sai Ma together with them. But I stopped once. Fortunately, Lao Shi didn't scold me. Close shave.

Then I rushed for Science tuition. Skipped lunch, again! (Mom scolded me for not taking lunch.)Felt lethargic during tuition but I managed to pull through. After tuition, I was like rushing off to Old Chang Kee to buy the Sardine Puff. I think I'm addicted to it. Hahhas =))

Glad that you are feeling better =))
Anw, I guess I must say today has been a very good day for me except for NAPFA.(don't think I can achieve the Gold Award) Okay. This morning was so funny.

Went to bring the class down for assembly and I actually found out that several of them knew my sister. And they each also has a sister who is in the same class as my sister. HAHAS :D
Coincidence...

Ok, then I came back to class after assembly and there goes Paddy showing me that gross picture of a man. The guy was completely naked la. And he looked real gross. It's as though he is dead. Then, Partner wanted to return the book to Richa and she passed it to Crispituna. Guess what she did?! She kept it in her bag! HAHAHS :D That's so funny la. Suppose to return and she kept it. Lol.

And another exciting thing that happened today was that I met Professor Lee-the guy who writes our Math Textbook. He is Ms Deepa's lecturer in the U. And Ms Deepa was behaving so anxiously. But everything was all right. I should say super all right because everyone really responded when she needed a reply.(Normally we will be quite dead la.)

NAPFA-bad bad bad. I don't know what happened to me this year. I'm so weak. AHHH. Nvm, will exercise more and get myself ready for OBS at the same time. Congratulations Wei Kee, you can join me now. Your dream came true! I feel so happy for you =))

Rushed for Daji straight after NAPFA and I am proud to say that it went extremely well today. Lao Shi praised me as I managed to play the rhythm continuously for the whole song together with the dynamics. I feel so happy!!

Back to studying again on Monday. Yeah =))

Happy Birthday to Wen Shuang and Wen Yi!

Financial Literacy Workshop by Eduwealth Pte Ltd. HAHA :D
Just played a board game for 5 whole hours. And Jamie was the overall winner with 2.2 million plus. I really wonder how in the world she did that. I only had less than half a million. Anw, had a birthday celebration for Third sis. Happy Birthday!

060406
Quite a moody day.Told Right Minister about what I think of her while we were waiting for our coach to arrive. I really don't understand at times. I just feel that at times that she's trying to brag to us that she has got a bf. I totally agree w President la. As in, why must she keep asking us along when she wants to go out with him? You know it ain't good to play a gooseberry? And another issue is, I feel at times that she looks down on us cause we are not that rich compared to her? Take for instance I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. And she said that whatever she want, is just to expensive for us to afford. Wth. I really don't know what to say. It's not as though we will not try.

Anw, went for Sungei Buloh Trip. Got bitten by a red ant. And 6 mosquito bites. HAHA :D Oh yes, and we saw a snake. Cool huh. Had a long and tiring day. Interesting trip.

Oh yes, and not to forget the trip to the goat farm-Hay Dairies. Fed the baby goats =)) And we had a small bottle of chocolate goat milk. HAHAHA :D

070406
Humanities trip-Bukit Chandu, Kent Ridge Park and URA. Learnt a lot of things about the past. World War 2 and all. Explosions. I felt like crying when it was the last part of the video. So touching. And then, talked to Chong f awhile la. Told her abt how I felt and she said that she is self-centred. She already told me in the beginning already la. Forget it la.

After that, all of us spent our time arnd school. Walking here and there. And I stayed back for some prefect's stuffs. And walked home together with Darveenia and Esther. Darveenia is such a funny girl. Hehh ;D I love your bag, Darveenia!

Feeling a little less overloaded now after the PW presentation was over today. It was a total phew for me when my group finished our presentation. The judges liked our board game- COOL WATERS. I love it man! I hope our efforts will be appreciated =) And my class won champion during the finals. Hehs. All the credits to Amanda, Claris, Sabrina and their super-fantastic leader, Valery. I want to try some of your shark fin soup too. It looks delicious =)

Ok, had da ji and it was kind of a combined one with the guzheng tuan. I was quite off, I couldn't play the whole 36 bars w/o having stopping halfway. Lao shi said that I cannot stop, cos' the horse cannot stop galloping halfway. If not it become crippled, I also will suffer. I feel pressurized! Anw, thanks for all the encouragements Grace, Zenia and Vanessa.

Practice makes perfect. I will bear that in mind :D

Been ages since I last posted. Well, shall update on the week.

280306
My first day for being a Sec 4 class prefect. I felt excited and in my mind, I had some kind of idea what a Sec 4 class will be. No doubt, they took a very long time to get down to the assembly ground. And there was something that I didn't expect - Somebody to shout at me. I mean, normally, I will switch of half of the lights and all the fans. And she shouted at me for a small thing, and this was the conversation.

Me: Class, get ready for assembly.

Then, I switched off the lights and fans.

She: Hey, don't switch off the fans. So hot!
Me: You are suppose to get ready and go down for assembly

And she gave me that arrogant look.

Fellow prefects told me that I must take more notice of this class. A little rebellious la. But still, I didn't expect to get a scolding on my first day of my duty. Ok. forget about that.

And during PW today, all of them weren't at all serious, maybe except 1? The project is due soon, and they are still taking it so lightly. I just can't take it anymore, and I gave them a dressing down. It was really bad. But, I felt that I have not been strict enough with them. I hope that after that dressing down, they will be able to produce a better standard of work and do whatever I ask them to.

290306
Congratulations Richa! Your speech was marvellous!

300306
Ok, today's assembly wasn't that bad. The class was better. I guess, I just need to understand them a little better and everything will be ok.

All of us got a suprise from Mrs Chong. I don't like that surprise at all. Not a teeny weeny bit. It's just a problem that adds onto our IDPW. I hope that my group will be able to survive this IDPW. They are coming over tmrw. Hope all goes well.

Da ji was ok. I don't know why I just cannot concentrate when the others come in. I will just get lost halfway. Mr Yeo told me to get the rhythm right and everything will be fine.

Innovation Week =/

APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Had a very long day yesterday. Tired tired.

Been to Pulau Ubin together with form class and others from B2 and C2. Together with clique, the 4 of us planted a total of 2 trees. Hehs. Not a lot but it's a quite a tough job. Now, I seriously understand what farmers have to go through. And we had a tour around a small part of Ubin. Mr How introduced us to the different species of plants there. And I've also learnt some intersting facts. For eg: The Junglefowl is the ancestor of our domestic chickens. And the wild pigs there in Ubin are really strong.

Anw, after Pulau Ubin trip, Shi Min and Li Ying came over to my house. We continued with our IDPW. Both are coming along fine. The major one is quite done. Left 10% more to go. Had fun with them to. Especially Shi Min with her Scooby-Doo laughter. HAHAHS =)) The other one, I seriously hope that she can contribute more if not I have no choice but to feedback on the peer evaluation form. You had better work harder and show us what you can do.

Busy week ahead. All the trips =))
